Yesterday in class graphics cards for workstations, AMD introduced a brand new product - the adapter Radeon Pro SSG (Solid State Graphics) . Graphics cards in the line of Radeon Pro SSG will be released next year and will be equipped with its own solid-state disk (SSD). Currently adapters Radeon Pro SSG is available in a kit for developers price of $ 10 000. This video card is based on the graphic processor AMD Fiji with two SSD Samsung 950 Pro 512GB capacity .
On the adapter Radeon Pro SSG has two slots M.2 interface PCIe x4. By GPU SSD connected via PEX8747 PCIe-bridge, such as used in the dual video card Radeon Pro Duo. To increase the capacity drives on the adapter arranged in a RAID-0 configuration. Thus, the rate of exchange between the GPU and the cache array rises to 4 GB / s with a speed of 900 MB / s
Demonstration of Radeon Pro SSG was reinforced by showing a video with a resolution of 8K. It is obvious that such opportunities will be useful to the creators of multimedia and VR-content. Also new ddevice can be used in massive calculations using the GPU, for example, to search for oil and gas, and other areas related to intelligence. The work of such decisions will require significant changes in the software, because today SSD has no place in the hierarchy of intermediate storage for GPU. Related Products :
